I'm not quite sure what it is that you see Obama is up against in their mindset that others here don't see. In a general election, the "fact" that they avoid such terms as Common Good and Community is a benefit to Obama, given the 50% plus 1 approach. Most Americans regardless of their political stripes have a positive view of such terms, although they may have different understandings regarding those terms. As long as Obama keeps to a frame of the Middle Class community, and the common good is that which benefits the Middle Class, he is standing in a good place. While most voters are definitely driven by self-interest and what benefits their personal pocket book (when looking through the economic prism), they do like to believe they are basically unselfish and good stewards. Democracy as a buzz word resonates with them, even if in reality they resist policies and approaches that facilitate greater democracy.

Well first of all there is a
